Minneapolis, Minn.-
Sophomore Lisa Brooks (Fairfax, Va./Fairfax) has spent the last
four days competing in the 2009 Division III Swimming and Diving
Championships. The Meet featured the top 355 women's swimmers in
the country and took place at the Aquatics Center on the Campus of
the University of Minnesota.

Although she did not qualify for any finals, she represented
Catholic very well and gained great experience to build on in the
next two years.

On Wednesday, Brooks swam in the 200 IM. She finished with a time
of 2:18.13.

Brooks returned to the pool on Friday to compete in the 100 yard
Breaststroke Prelims. She was just four tenths of a second shy of
qualifying for the finals, finishing with a time of 1:05.65.

Today, Brooks swam in her last event at the Championships, the 200
yard Breaststroke and finished in a time of 2:24.87.

Brooks was the first female Catholic swimmer to qualify for the
Championships since 1995.

Swimming at the Championships marked a fitting end to a great
season in which Lisa earned two Landmark Conference
Championships.
